Question 2

Can you drive heavy vehicles over driveway paving stones?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Driveway pavers are designed to withstand the heavy wear and tear of RVs, motor homes, buses and more.  Please let your consultant know about heavy traffic so that we can build your foundation accordingly.

Question 3

What holds my pavers stable around the edges?

Accepted Answer

A concrete edge beam is installed around the edges of your patio, deck or driveway to protect the interlocking pavers from lateral movement.

Question 4

Do driveway pavers get icy in colder climates?

Accepted Answer

Concrete pavers resist deterioration from freezing and thawing cycles better than asphalt and ordinary poured in place concrete. De-icing products, such as calcium chloride or salt, will not harm the pavers either, making them a great choice for cold climates. Electric or liquid snow melting systems work well under concrete pavers, eliminating snow removal while reducing slip hazards. Darker colored pavers can also aid in accelerating the melting process.

Question 5

When will I be able to walk/drive on my new paving stone surface once it’s installed?

Accepted Answer

One of the many benefits of installing paving stones is that there is no down time required after installation! Driving and walking on them right away is absolutely okay.

Question 6

Are there gaps between the stones or will it be level enough to play/ride/skate/walk on with high heels?

Accepted Answer

Our interlocking pavers are always installed to be as level as possible. However, feel free to tell your representative of any specific concerns you may have. The more information you give us, the easier it will be for us to make the appropriate recommendation.

Question 7

What do you do about drainage and root problems when installing my driveway pavers?

Accepted Answer

In the event we find any plumbing or root problems when replacing your driveway, patio or deck with interlocking paving stones, we can install new plumbing or replace broken pipes at an additional cost. In most cases we find that re-grading the area results in better drainage flow.

Question 8

What's the steepest angle slope you can build interlocking pavers on?

Accepted Answer

When installing new driveway pavers, each job is unique. It’s difficult to give an exact degree of slope, so we would have to take a look at the area first. Contact us to arrange your free, no obligation consultation now.
